Violet Richardson Youth in Service Award
It’s what YOU do that counts! Are you a young woman between the ages of 14-18 who volunteers in your community or school? Who sees challenges instead of obstacles? Hope instead of despair? If you are a young woman who believes in the power of volunteer action, then you may be eligible to win a Soroptimist Youth in Service Award.
The Youth in Service Award recognizes young women who make the community and world a better place through volunteer efforts such as fighting drugs, crime and violence, cleaning up the environment, and working to end discrimination and poverty. Volunteer actions that benefit women and girls are of particular interest. The student must volunteer through a school program or an organization that is a 501(C)3 nonprofit..
The award is $1,000.00 to the recipient and $500.00 to the organization where the recipient volunteered.
